Pool Competition

Last saturday I invited Ming, Dixon and Gopi to join me in a pool competition, playing at Newmarket Tenpin Bowling place. Had some free chinese buns then we quickly jumped right into it. There were a total of 12 players including us, we had to play each player twice and record down our score, the one with the most points at the end wins. I did pretty bad when vsing my friends, Gopi 1-1, Dixon 0-2, Ming 0-2 (sunk the black ball but called the wrong pocket). However I did the best out of us when playing against the other adults there. The adults there were pro as, they will always sink at least 3 balls before you get your turn again. I managed to draw 1-1 with most of them with the occasional 2-0. However none of us made it to the top 3 which was quite disappointing.

After pool we went to get some chow, had some pretty good dishes from the Newmarket food court. Then still didnt feel like heading home, we rocked up to Giga internet cafe and started some action on Left 4 Dead 2. Nothing like killing zombies with 3 friends for stress relief (or maybe it builds up stress, especially if you die lol). Anyway it was a fun day, look forward to it again next year!

Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon

Went to watch the new Transformers movie Dark of the Moon last night and I've got one word for it, epic. Shia LaBeouf said "It is the best one we've done" and I couldnt agree more. This movie is like a level above both of the previous ones, in terms of almost every aspect. So before I put down my thoughts on this movie, I would like to point out the obvious. Yes there is no more Megan Fox and we have a new blond model instead. Apparently, Megan and the director just couldnt work together which is a shame since I prefer her. I mean she was in the previous 2, her role was already integrated into this series but well, apparently not lol

Anyway moving on, I'd start of with the story. For the first two movies, the story was pretty straight forward however in this one they added a nice twist into it, like I didnt even see it coming. There were also way more emotional parts in this movie which made it more intense. The action, boy were there plenty of actions. The stunts they pulled of this time was like I said, a level higher than it's previous ones. The robot graphics has improved significantly, you could actually see how they are fighting and not just metal parts smashing into each other. I also liked how they had a few slow motion scenes so you could really understand what was going on.

I watched the movie in 2D because I dont believe in 3D movies these days however there is a chance that this movie in 3D wouldnt have been that bad due to the improved graphics. The soundtracks they used during the movie was really nice, I enjoyed it and is thinking of downloading it. Although the overall movie wont get spoiled if you watched the trailer however I recommend that you dont, you get to enjoy the movie more that way, more suprising epic scenes :) I've decided to dish out a 10/10 for Transformers 3.
